The Australian protestor, Trenton Oldfield, has been given a six month jail sentence for interrupting London's prestigious Oxford versus Cambridge boat race in April. A court found he spoiled the race for the thousands of spectators lining the banks of the Thames. His supporters say it's a disgrace, given Britain prides itself on accommodating protest.
